Matt Flores: Borofsky out as Williamson Co. elections chief

Cliff Borofsky, the former Bexar County chief elections officer who stepped down from his post here in July 2005 to take an equivalent position in Williamson County, has resigned again.

In a brief statement released today, the Williamson County Elections Commission said it had accepted Borofsky’s resignation, which he submitted on May 5.

The commission said Borofsky would be retained as an elections consultant through June 1, but offered no other details about his impending departure.

Borofsky had worked in the Bexar County elections office for about eight years before leaving. He oversaw the transition locally from paper to electronic voting, although it wasn’t a decidedly smooth one.

Some called for his head in 2002, when it took nearly 30 hours to count 277,000 two-page ballots in the November general election, but he was allowed to stay on.
